Welcome to your own private retreat in the heart of NC (Lee County)! Custom built in 2022, this exceptional ranch-style home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and peaceful country living on approximately 8.5 beautiful acres bordering Little Buffalo Creek and just moments from the Deep River. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the inviting wraparound covered porch, where breathtaking woodland views and abundant wildlife create a setting that feels more like the North Carolina mountains than central NC. Inside, you'll find over 2,154 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space featuring 3 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 baths, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, granite countertops—including the laundry room—and an oversized primary suite with an enormous walk-in closet. The true showpiece is the double-sided wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere both inside the living room and outside on the covered patio. Relax in the hot tub while overlooking the forest and listening to the peaceful sounds of nature, or explore the private walking and ATV trails leading down to the creek. Additional features include durable fiber cement siding, a black metal roof with matching gutters, an established Zenith Zoysia lawn, grilling patio, oversized garage, and an unfinished bonus room with permanent stairs offering incredible potential for future expansion. Opportunities like this are incredibly rare—a move-in-ready custom home where luxury, privacy, and nature come together in one unforgettable property.
